Windows Phone updates go through the carriers. It seems like Microsoft at one time said they were going to push updates directly to devices but that hasn't happened.
When i used windows phone (7.5) the updates first came from the oems then the carriers. Not sure if that has changed with 8.0
On windows phone 7 the updates were pushed by Microsoft and the OEMS, after Mango it seemed to shift to carriers.
Windows phone 8 is carriers

How about off-contract and unlocked phones? The OEM pushes it?
Yep, I got an update on the 8x around same time as it was being pushed to Lumia series and my 8X was unbranded, unlocked & off-contract.
On bright side its quicker than android rollouts
but still not Apple here it is quick..
